Hadith 17:791
Al-Aswad ibn Amir narrated to us, he said: Shu'bah narrated to us, from Qatadah, from Yunus ibn Jubayr, from Muhammad ibn Sa'd, he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "For the interior of one of you to be filled with pus that consumes him is better for him than for it to be filled with poetry."
حدثنا الأسود بن عامر قال حدثنا شعبة عن قتادة عن يونس بن جبير عن محمد بن سعد قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لأن يمتلئ جوف أحدكم قيحا يريه خير له من أن يمتلئ شعرا
